Two Wives,


! Special 20 the Gazette.
LoNGvIEw, TEX, July 9.-James A.
Oliver, alias James Reed, of WaXahaCbie,
was arrested in Gladewater, near this
place. He is charged with horse steal
ing. But for foolish complications he
would have been perfectly safe. After
stealing the horse he came to this coun-
try and engaged IN farming, under the
assumed name OF James Reed, and four
months ago married Gu estimsble young
lady named IaChery, in Upshur county,
about fourteen miles from here. It in
some way leaked out that Reed was not
mis- real name, and becoming
afraid he would be prosecuted, brought
his wife to this place, procured another
license and WIS again married on the 9Th
inst. This fixed his matrimonial matters
up all right, but it threw light on his
identity and resulted in his arrest to
await officers from WaXahaChie, who took
him there day.
Another man, named j. A. Russell, was
also married twice, but instead OF mar
rying the same woman, as Oliver h9d,
he married two women, his hrst being al
Waco, only short time ago, and next
in Cherokee county, near Rusk, but Mr.
Y. No. l followed him up from whose
awfu! wrath ne skipped, but 4 telegram
intercepted him. No name but his was
ObtsInable.
